Phlegyas, the surly boatman of the Styx, is forced to give Dante and Virgil safe passage across the disgusting waters of the marsh. As the boat speeds across the water, Dante recognizes Fillippo Argenti. Argenti, an enemy of Dante's family, is soundly cursed by Dante and then attacked by the other sinners. Dante and Virgil reach a great iron gate guarded by the fallen angels. In Circle Six Dante sees many strange and disturbing sights. Dante has a close call with Medusa, most dreaded of the infernal furies. Dante beholds the sufferings of the Heretics, those who did violence against God, as they suffer in fiery tombs.
